  • I can relate to this. I have been living on 900 though for several years with ZERO weight loss. My drs say to continue doing this b/c I gain weight when I eat more and my thryoid levels are good? So this week I have decided to try a 600 calorie diet. I got no place to go but to eat less and less and less. the scale does NOT move. I am pretty damn active too. I walk for 15 mins at work during break, and 30 mins at night on the treadmill. I live on a gluten free (for 7 years) low glycemic diet as well- to no avail. I have done weight watchers- and gained weight 7 lbs in two weeks on the lowest level diet. And 23 lbs while working with a hospital Nutritionist - and I HAD TO PAY FOR THIS!!! AND these are just a few! I am not very heavy and I look "good" really. But not to me! If you are consuming 900 calories a day and exercising -you should NOT be 25 lbs overweight!!! Since my drs do not believe me, and my thyroid rx reflect that is not the problem -I am now out of options except to move onto this starvation diet.Wish me luck!

    hi OP - I am a vegan too. I love sushi especially the kind with fish in it (and I do eat a greek yogurt for breakfast but that's only for the protein, I am still a semi vegan). I think your calorie goal is great, my breakfast is usually 600 calories and then I only have like, 50 more for lunch and dinner but it works for me. I like to eat a lot of bananas since they are only 1 calorie. you're doing great!

    LOL!!

    This post is clearly a joke.

    * On 9/26 - FIVE days ago!! - the diary of this "vegan" included: Milk, Pizza Hut - Hand Tossed Chicken Supreme Pizza Slice,
    Pizza Hut - Baked Hot Wings. Other days, as noted, have included eggs, bacon, crab meat.

    * Many days include only 1 meal logged.

    * Foods listed with 1 calorie that are approx 100 calories (bananas).

    * Changed the question he asked when he didn't like the answers.

    The posts have been fun! Thanks for the laugh, O.P.

    600.. really?! Just read your diary for last 2 weeks, why is there fish and meat in it if you're a vegan, and how do you compute 600 calories a day? Your diary shows several days at 1000+ calories and one at 2000+ calories - does anyone believe that you eat only 1gm of banana a day? This is either a wind up or very bad logging/calculations. If the last 6 months are anything like the last 2 weeks, no wonder you only lost a few pounds. Thanks for an entertaining thread anyway.

    So you ate 5 slices of Pizza Hut chicken supreme pizza on Thursday. I'm curious how that fits in a 600 calorie vegan diet?
